Browser configuration when using ContentCreator

Problems may arise while copying, cutting or pasting texts into the input component DOM editor (CMS_INPUT_DOM and CMS_INPUT_DOMTABLE) when working with the Firefox web browser. (It might not be possible to save contents or to paste them repeatedly.) This behaviour does not result from ContentCreator malfunctioning, but a browser security setting. For security reasons (default setting), Firefox prevents the pasting or changing of contents from the clipboard via JavaScript. However, these contents have to be prepared for the DOM editor.

The function can be activated via the respective configuration of the browser settings (in file user.js).

For security reasons, this setting should NOT be carried out globally (for all URLs), but only for the required URLs.

user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy","allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://aServer:port");
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard");

Several sites can be specified for capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites if separated via spaces:

user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://aServer:10000 
http://aServer:11000");

When working with the web browser Google Chrome too, copying, cutting and pasting texts in DOM editors by using the respective context menu entries is disabled for security reasons. The following message is displayed:

“Currently not supported by your browser, use keyboard shortcuts instead.”

Moreover, if you drop text from a word processing program into input components in ContentCreator, the text may be removed from the external application. This is not an error on the part of FirstSpirit!
Use the following keyboard shortcuts instead:

• Ctrl+C (Copy)
• Ctrl+X (Cut)
• Ctrl+V (Paste)

Please contact your system administrator if problems arise with the browser configuration.
